Grapefruit Mousse – Mousse al pompelmo – Mousse de Pomelo

I don’t know where you are but here, in Italy, we are literally melting. The temperatures are around 40°C and in my town it’s particularly humid and sticky, so I thought I had to prepare something healthy and refreshing, and here it is: Grapefruit Mousse! Easy, healthy and quick, what more do you want?

Soften the gelatine in some water. Cut the grapefruit and squeeze it, then carefully remove what’s left in the inside and you will obtain a small bowl. Then mix the egg yolk with the sugar until you obtain a nearly white fluffy cream and add the grapefruit juice. Warm up the mixture on low fire, whilst stirring, remove from fire and add the softened gelatine. Let it melt and let the whole mixture cool. Whip the egg’s white and the whip cream (separately) then add them carefully to the rest of the mixture and slowly stir. Once it has all mingled pour into the bowls you’ve made with the fruit and let it cool in the fridge for a while, then enjoy 🙂
